Grrrr tram tracks :(

[orgasmicliving!!]

I got my wheel caught in a groove today and fell in the most godawful/spectacular fashion you can imagine. It was truly worth filming, I must have slid about 10 feet. Amazingly, no broken bones, no skin rash, no nothing, not even torn clothing or damaged backpack or missing bike computer or shattered mobile! I didn't put my gloves on after the last beer-stop, but even my palms are completely intact! The gods must have been smiling (or laughing)! And I didn't get run over by an angry taxi driver either. Bet I am going to be sore tomorrow, though. Fecking trams.

heh, if you think Tram tracks are bad try riding at speed over a painted white line while raining

Did that on a motorcycle once...bike did a squiggle and then straightened out at 80+ while I held on gingerly. I was very, very, very lucky.

Yup...did that with my girlfriend on the back of a mates scooter. I was petrified that I had hurt my girlfriend. Once I knew she was ok, I found out I'd caused €150 of damage to my friends scooter.

I felt so bad about it, I dont want to use somebody elses bike or car again.....

Aha! We find the true cause of (a) the crash and (b) the lack of injury!

Beer is amazing stuff. Especially when coupled with bratwurst or kebab. It's downright magical, I tell you!
